[tor-talk] large increase in .onion domains

[Griffin Boyce]

People also set up lots of onionsites for testing and other reasons. At one
point, Andrew Lewman (Tor's past ED) scripted something to create 5000 onion
addresses to see how long it would take to generate. While working on Stormy, I
generated a few hundred onionsites just during the testing process.

It might be true, I set up a .onion domain some time ago.

And it might be the other way round, people might be setting up fake
sites.
